Fibromyalgia
is a
disorder
which
causes
muscle
pain and
fatigue.
The word Fibromyalgia
means
pain in
the soft
fibrous
tissues
in the
body-
the
muscles,
ligaments
and
tendons.
Fibromyalgia
and
Chronic
Fatigue
Syndrome
(CFS)
share a
number
of
symptoms
and the
names
are
often
used
interchangeably
with
each
other.
People
with
fibromyalgia
have
"tender
points"
on the
body;
these
are
specific
places
on the
neck,
shoulders,
back,
hips,
arms,
and legs
and
these
points
hurt
when
pressure
is put
on them.
Women
are more
commonly
afflicted
with
Fibromyalgia
than men
and it
can
occur at
any age.
Patients
with
Fibromyalgia
say that
they
have
ache all
over the
body.
Their
muscles
may feel
like
they
have
been
overworked
or
pulled.
The
severity
of
symptoms
may
fluctuate
from
patient
to
patient.
Patients
generally
feel
devoid
of all
energy
and
extremely
fatigued
without
any
apparent
cause.

Probable
causes
of
Fibromyalgia:
Fibromyalgia
is a
widespread
musculoskeletal
pain and
fatigue
disorder
for
which
the
cause is
still
unknown
yet
there
are many
triggering
events
thought
to
precipitate
its
onset. A
few
examples
would
be:
An
infection
(viral
or
bacterial)
An
automobile
accident
The
development
of
another
disorder
such as
rheumatoid
arthritis,
lupus,
Ankylosing
spondylitis
or
hypothyroidism
Repetitive
injuries
Researchers
have
found
that
people
with
Fibromyalgia
may have
abnormal
levels
of
several
chemicals,
such as
substance
P and
serotonin.
Remarks:
Conventional
treatments
do not
have
much to
offer to
a
patient
of
fibromyalgia
and are
geared
toward
reducing
pain and
improving
the
quality
of
sleep.
Homoeopathy
is one
branch
of
medicine
that can
bring
significant
relief
to the
sufferers
of
Fibromyalgia.
Homoeopathy
has
effective
medication
that
works at
the
physical
as well
as the
mental
plane
and
hence
can be
instrumental
in
giving
maximum
relief
to these
patients.
The
underlying
stress
that can
be a
trigger
for this
disorder
can also
be
effectively
handled
with
Homoeopathic
treatment.
It
improves
the
general
immunity
and
vitality
of the
patient
and also
targets
the
increased
sensitiveness
to pain
that
these
patients
suffer
from.
Suggestion
about
homoeopathic
treatment:
Homoeopathy
is very
strongly
recommended
for
Fibromyalgia.
The pain
and the
fatigue
associated
with the
disease
can be
effectively
controlled
with the
medication
and
there is
overall
improvement
in the
general
vitality
of the
patient.
The
important
aspect
is that
homoeopathy
is
absolutely
safe and
without
any side
effects
whatsoever. |
